it's officially a*muse*a*palooza amuse-bouche time! it's always exciting to share the new releases with you, but even more fun this time around. i know several readers have been waiting to see the new images since they either don't have participating stores nearby or their stores didn't have events until this week. so, here you go! today, i have an "all natural christmas" card. the new wood grain patterned paper is probably my favorite of the whole release, although it's really hard to pick favorites from so much goodness! here, i went for huge impact and cut my whole card from it and i think it's the perfect back drop for the cardinal silhouette image, which is a solid version of the line image in the elegant winter class kit. i stamped it first in brown on natural white and then again in red, so i could cut out the cardinal and place him over the brown one on the branch. the branch is actually longer behind the cardinal, but i wanted a little out of the box action for interest! there's so much to see on the a muse news blog today, and still more on the creative team blogs, so start clicking and...
happy snacking!

This is a great image on the woodgrain! Looks almost like the bird is peeking out!

Absolutely beautiful design. I love the colors and the new wood gran paper... and I especially love how your cardinal peeks out the side of the frame. Awesome!
